Taken at the newly opened Marina Barrage, this amazing engineering feat was constructed for flood control in the nearby rivers, to create a reservoir so that drinking water can be derived from it, and enable lifestyle water sports to be enjoyed in it. I find that it's incredble how it was envisioned by our Minister Mentor 20 odd years ago when the Singapore River was being cleaned up. Why it took so many years to construct, I can only imagine it was because technically nothing like that was feasible in the 80s and 90s.
So now we can have picnics on the rooftop, enjoy sunsets and jog to the other side of the mouth of the Singapore River. Did I mention the extremely well designed interactive gallery and a nice little cafe with the most-welcoming smells? =)
